My naive, mpg hungry heart is aching for 40 MPG.
Are you up to building new aerodynamic body onto the frame? Yes you'll need steering and suspension spring movement clearance to match the Jeep's specs but the body doesn't have to be a box with protrusions.

I'm assuming the Jeep is a body-on-frame construction?? So removing the body doesn't affect the base structure??
